The Provost, University of America, Nigeria, Professor Michael Ikupolati has said President Bola Tinubu is leading the foundation for the country’s economic growth.
Ikupolati also advised the president to not listen to unnecessary criticism but focus on goals that would birth a new Nigeria, while urging Nigerians to give the president the opportunity to settle so as to be able to find solutions to the challenges currently faced by the country.
He said this in Abuja Saturday night, at the Graduation/Convocation Ceremony of the University of America in Nigeria, held at the Public Service Institute of Nigeria.
Ikupolati said, “The current president should be given some time to settle. What he has started to do now is what we call the foundational aspect of economic or national development. When you are building up your foundation, nobody can see the building, all you can see first is people labouring and that is exactly what is happening now.
“We can’t see the beauty of what he is doing but I can tell you that he is leading a foundation for the geometrical growth in the economic development of Nigeria if he does not derail and focus on the future,”
